Maryland Microbrewery Festival

Celebrating Maryland Beer and History

Brewing Presentations

Midnight Homebrewers League will host brewing presentations on how to make your own beer at home throughout the day. Please look for their booth and join the fun of learning how to brew.

We will gather the group of attendees at the times listed below and give an illustrated basic explanation of homebrewing from start to finish in about 20 minutes followed by Q&A for as long as people have questions. Active brewing will be taking place throughout the day, so people need not attend a presentation to see brewing in action. The presentations will focus on the whole process and highlight the stage of brewing that is occurring at the moment under the tent.
